The Collective Alchemy of Gender Liberation
In the midst of this gender climate crisis, our communities are under constant attack. Many of us who are trans, nonbinary, two-spirit, gender expansive &/or gender defiant have been exposed to the toxins of colonial gender binaries, which impact our capacity for growth, transformation, and interdependence. We believe that we already carry within us the antidotes to the poisonous elements in the soil that interfere with our capacity to thrive. Even when we might feel alone or scared, our transcestors, queercestors, and gender blessed ancestors have infused our community’s DNA with nutrients to detoxify and replenish the soil from which our collective gender liberation grows.

2025 Spirituality in Psychotherapy Summit
Spirituality in therapy isn't a side note.
It goes straight to the core of who your clients are—where questions of faith, identity, and meaning can either deepen suffering or open the door to profound healing.
A crisis of faith.
A rupture with a religious community.
A painful clash between belief and identity.
Or the hollow ache of wondering if life has meaning at all.
And with the right support, these struggles can become powerful turning points—restoring trust, safety, and hope.
That’s what the 2025 Spirituality in Psychotherapy Summit is all about.

Charis welcomes Mel Cassidy in conversation with Alex Iantaffi for a discussion of Radical Relating: A Queer and Polyamory-Informed Guide to Love Beyond the Myth of Monogamy, a provocative, trauma-informed guide to post-monogamy—how to build liberated relationships rooted in empowerment, equity, and authenticity.
This book is for polyamorists who want to practice their non-monogamy with more feminism, more queerness, and more community building. It’s for monogamists who don’t want to do relationships on autopilot. It’s for everyone who dearly believes a better way to love and live exists. It’s for change makers who aspire to re-wild the ways we love.

Join us on April 23rd to celebrate the publication of Trans & Disabled: An Anthology of Identities & Experiences!
